This poster went up on the billboard across the street from my shop yesterday, and seems to mark the launch of Libertas as an official political party in ireland with candidates in the forthcoming European elections.The established political parties need to buck up and take notice. In a time where political and economic circumstances are in a state of upheaval, voter backlash against the established political parties will afford an excellent opportunity for a new party like Libertas to gain a foothold.
The Libertas agenda is by no means clear, but they are definitely interested in substantially changing the way in which the European Union functions.
More about Libertas can be found at http://www.libertas.eu

RTEs Prime Time current affairs programme did a full programme on Mr. Ganley which left a lot of questions unanswered - it can be watched at http://www.rte.ie/news/2008/1127/primetime.html
